Crispy Air-Fried Chicken
Description
This is a delicious recipe for fried chicken in the air fryer. Spice-rubbed breasts are cooked with a basting sauce for moist yet crispy chicken.
Ingredients
•
1 tablespoon ground paprika
•
1 teaspoon salt
•
1 teaspoon onion powder
•
1 teaspoon garlic powder
•
1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram
•
1/2 teaspoon ground sage
•
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
•
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
•
2 (8 ounce) bone-in, skin-on chicken breast halves
•
1/4 cup coconut oil, at room temperature
•
2 tablespoons dry sherry
•
2 tablespoons lime juice
Directions
1
Mix paprika, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, marjoram, sage, pepper, and nutmeg together in a small bowl. Spread spice rub on all sides of chicken breasts and under the skin.
2
Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions. Mix coconut oil, sherry, and lime juice together in a small bowl; set aside.
3
Place chicken, breast-side down, in the air fryer basket and cook for 15 minutes. Brush chicken with reserved basting oil. Flip chicken, reduce heat to 360 degrees F (182 degrees C), and cook for another 15 minutes. Baste chicken again with remaining oil and cook until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, 6 to 12 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
